If we went 7 tiers the Scots would go 9, and the Welsh would let out all the prisoners or something equally sensible.

We've got new COVID rules and they're insanely arbitrary as is the trend.
Private parties up to 5 people maximum, unless it's a party with children under 12 where you can have anywhere between 5 and 1000.
We've managed to stumble upon a local cluster, quite fortuitously it would seem. The 'index case' which is what those in the know like to call the first one, or the first one they're tracing from, was picked up due to pre-travel screening (presumably they have to travel to the UK for something and the NHS have a 14 day quarantine/negative test requirement I believe). They were completely asymptomatic and have still managed to cause a further 7/8 currently known cases. If they'd not been picked up (and why would they have been?), or had only been picked up due to symptoms (which may or may not have manifested), given that spread, we'd probably be looking at going back quite a bit in terms of the exit strategy. Fuck knows where it's come from considering our regs are beyond draconian. Maybe it never really left (although they have been testing quite a lot of symptomatic people and haven't found anything)? Obviously mongs are already clamouring for a return to lockdown.
lol again. Full sugar Coke as well it must be serious.
No need for it to be sold if kids shouldn’t go out.
All jokes about how mental this is aside, I was talking to my Mrs about this earlier and 'non-essential' is in need of some pretty serious defining.
If they are allowing people to be exempt from masks on Mental Health grounds, then who are they to decide what is and isn't essential? On Mental Health grounds 'Normality' is essential. Celebrating annual events is essential. I don't suffer with my mental health, but I've had a few wobbles during this shit. I think seeing 2/3 of the Supermarket taped off to deny me anything but bread and water would potentially give me another one. This is absolutely fucking mental.
I read somewhere (twitter, I think) that the logic behind it was to stop people going to the supermarket and browsing the clothes and shit for ages which sort of makes sense. But what if your kid needs new shoes or something during that time? What if your microwave breaks? It's a bit stupid.
Clothes being defined as non-essential is nuts. How is an old person who doesn't know how to use Amazon supposed to get any they need in Wales during this bonkers?
As I’ve established. I’ve got a big house with two floors. Do you think I could have two private parties, one on each floor? Or am I gonna have to find a 12 year old or two?
And it would have been seventy if they were all out buying quilts.
You blokes would hate what's happening in Brisbane at the moment.
Beating them at their own game.
I'm a twit
The clubs are back open I think, at least if my neighbour having 12 people round and playing hefty bass thudding around the building from midnight until now is anything to go by.
Address, mate
I'd have grassed on him by 1am.
Jimmy not doing his civic grassing duty.
I'm missig another opentheclubs march today. Fs, can someone give me some notice of when these are planned.
They're still going even now. It might be an orgy. It's a single youngish woman that lives there. I'm not posting my address Taz but I'll send a flare up and you can follow it across the night sky with your frankincense and myrrh.
Maybe they OD’d and died and the Spotify playlist is a long one.
Narc her out, Jimmy. She could be the next Rose West.
She's probably getting filled.
Probably a copper.

There's a lovely does of anxiety here if anyone's feeling a bit too chirpy this morning.
You won't have to worry about tax when civilisation collapses.
I've lived a full life and have nothing else I wish to do or see beside post-apocalyptic anarchy so bring it on.
Spain and Italy have absolutely shat the bed. Spain's proposed state of emergency will last for 6 months all the way to May 2021.
I'm never fucking getting back to see my fam, am I?
Pedro Sanchez is a dweeb. 'We must protect work and economic activity and the rhythms of our lives' while imposing a night time curfew and telling everyone to stay at home.
I am back in 'nothing to look forward to' territory now.
It hasn’t really taken off here. As expected.
3 weeks today until we're meant to be going to CentreParcs. It's getting a bit touch and go. We're meant to be going to Croatia in late May / early June too (this years moved holiday) and I'm in no way confident that's going to happen this time either. Just Vax us all up Bozzer. We'll take the risk.
I've got doubts over getting away in March. Unless Biden wins and locks down.
If Biden wins and tries to lock them down the place will be on the brink of Civil War.
I have further ITK info to suggest health workers may start being vaccinated before the end of the year.
Taz's seethe when the first NHS only clubnights start.
Phew. Open the coal mines.

Some shops in Wales blocked off aisles with tampons...
Are they that much bigger in Wales?
A lot of heavy flow over there.
